August 12, 20241 yr Liked it much better than I expected 😄 @Lilja K LOVED the aesthetics/soundtrack of the movie. Also this scene? I'm stunned how much I liked the dynamic/chemistry between Freeman and Jenna. Through her eyes I almost believed he's attractive. Blaming her convincing acting for that 😄 Spoiler Would have liked the movie even better if she wouldn't gone nuts towards the 2nd part of the movie and if it wasn't implied that she lied about their relationship.

They literally carried the whole movie, especially Jenna. I'd also like the script to be a little different. Heroine shows sociopathic and narcissistic traits in the 2nd half, I'd rather she remained just an outsider teen prodigy.
August 17, 20241 yr Pretty sure not a movie for everyone but I really liked it. Margaret Qualley and Joe Alwyn are so hot 😻
August 18, 20241 yr In dedication of his yesterdays birthday I re watched ...still felt too long overall.
August 18, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Matt! said: The ending... This movie was like a mixture of Alien, Aliens, Alien: Isolation, and Alien 4. Even the ending was like Alien 4. IMHO they should have left the Prometheus influences out. I see Prometheus as another concept entirely. I like the Alien creature as something more simple- just a space predator like in the comics. We don't need to know about their origins other than how they originated from some planet.. and certainly they don't need to be a something made in a lab. The Starcraft games (inspired by Starship troopers) did it the best - made them a part of the Zerg ecosystem. The comics have them as an inter-galactic infestation, like the Zerg/Starship troopers that the Colonial Marines/humanity is struggling against.
August 23, 20241 yr Not really what I expected (or maybe exactly what I expected?) However I don't get the appeal about the 2 male actors.

Just like George Clooney in "The Boys in the Boat" made rowing look thrilling director Luca Guadagnino somehow managed to make tennis looking hot (literally the last time I witnessed so much sweating was in ELVIS lol) - and with that I really mean the game and not the story around it. I also for probably the first time understand the fuss about Zendaya imo. She easily was the standout here. I also think it's pretty rare to see a woman in the superior role of not only 1 but 2 men in this menage trois. Me for my part was fascinated by their kinda ill-fated dynamic but wouldn't say I found their relationship sexy. I also didn't really ship any of them together. It was kinda weird for a so called promoted "erotic thriller" this is why I wrote not really what I expected earlier. But maybe all of this was exactly intended. It's def watchable though and even worth a rewatch I would claim. Sometimes I can a movie fully appreciating when I watch it a 2nd time knowing what's coming expectations erased.
August 25, 20241 yr The closest to the first 2 original movies from the entire franchise, which is why it works so well @Jade Bahr The old scheme + some new details. As a fan of 70s movie I loved it. Cailee Spaeny was a standout💯

Holy wow, thanks for the detailed analysis! I'll watch it when it comes available (for free).
